I just wanted to do a post about a few things that I have picked up over the past few days. Ever since school got out for summer break, I’ve been doing quite a bit of shopping and really enjoyed it.

First, I stopped by Marshalls and got an adorable pair of black and white oxfords for $20:

Then I went to the Nordstrom Rack and picked up this gorgeous Juicy Couture Gold Statement Necklace. I’ve noticed that gold chain statement necklaces (that’s a mouthful!) have come back in a huge way and I liked this one especially because it has hearts that help form the chain and I thought that was a really cute twist to the trend. Also, this was around $30 which feels like an awesome deal considering it’s from Juicy and the one I wanted from Express was $27.

I also couldn’t resist this pleather Betsey Johnson Bow Crossbody Bag! It was also right around $30 and I absolutely adore it!

Last, but certainly not least, I finally picked up a powder that I mentioned in a couple posts back. I have completely finished all my powders (I didn’t have many to start off with) and was so excited to get to pick up a new makeup product. I decided to go with the M.A.C. Mineralize Skinginish Natural in Light Plus because I’ve heard great things about it and have decided to give M.A.C. another go and let me tell you, I am not disappointed at all! I did take pictures of it when I got it but somehow I’ve lost them but here is a picture of it perfectly fitting in with all my other makeup on a makeshift vanity I’ve made out in my boyfriend’s apartment:

I’ve been loving all the pieces I’ve picked up and feel like they were the perfect pieces to make me feel summer ready!
